Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
5/2: Eton mess
After making honey gingerbread cookies this past week, I had an egg white left over, so I decided to search the internet to see if there was a recipe for meringue using a single egg white. There was! I ended up with 9 meringue cookies. We used 4 of them to make modified Eton messes: 2 meringues each, plus puréed strawberries and whipped cream. (I say "modified" because we didn't crunch up the meringues or construct parfait-like layers.) I had used lemon extract rather than vanilla in the meringues, and that gave a nice extra tang to the treat. And we have enough for another round tomorrow.
